Reviews
LINGUIST List, Joyce Milambiling, University of Northern Iowa
...a substantial, one-volume book that defines and presents many aspects of the field of educational linguistics.... very useful to have
material on so many different aspects of language and education in one place, as well as to have access to bibliographies that have been
compiled by these authors who come from such disparate disciplines.... Many of the contributors are internationally known for writing
on their chosen topic...fulfills the mission of an encyclopedia in that the contents are a comprehensive treatment of a particular branch
of knowledge and go beyond merely defining the topics and sub-topics.... Concise Encyclopedia of Educational Linguistics will be a valuable
addition to the reference secton of libraries and to the reference book collections of scholars who would like to have an authoritative
encyclopedia on educational linguistics.
The Times Higher Education Supplement, Raphael Salkie, University of Brighton
...a wide-ranging, informative resource which should be in every college library.... a rich and valuable book, and I shall recommend it
often and enthusiastically to my students. It summarises a huge amount of material in an intelligible way, and readers will come away
from it better informed, more effective and more civilised.
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, John Edwards, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada
This 'spin-off volume' is a very welcome one ... The single greatest strength of this collection is the expertise of the contributors.
Spolsky has assembled here a stellar cast. Time and again one finds the articles to be written by just the authors one would have selected
oneself. ... Overall, I find this an extremely useful compendium. ... It would be wrong to think of this encyclopedia solely in terms
of students and beginners. Its level makes it a useful reference for all who wish a brief but intelligent resume of language areas outside
their own expertise.
Psychology of Education Review, Peter D. Pumfrey
...there is much here for any professional involved in research and practice related both to education and language. ...In its field,
this book is an conceptual cornucopia. As a book of reference, its users will find it an invaluable research resource. ...Without a doubt,
it is 'user-friendly' by virtue of its organisation and the excellent indexing.
Educational Book Review
...as a successful reference source for all researchers in the field. It provides state-of-the-art description of all the topics of interest
to language educators and all those concerned with making and implementing policy in language education. ...a most important reference
book for all libraries in colleges, university departments and educational institutes.
